coffee (Read 1091 times)

I mostly do whole bean. I used to have an electric mill, but it grinded the beans too fine, so I found an OLD porceline hand-cranked coffee grinder in my in-laws' basement and I mounted in on the side of my hoosier. Now I can adjust how fine the beans get grinded. It's so much better. Right now, I've got a pound of Dancing Goats in the grinder. My daughter, Sofia, is up. By now, many of you know what that means:

Fresh-ground Starbucks Sumatran blend. Strong enough so I'm already jittery. I expect to have a little trouble running slow this morning.

I get a tall nonfat latte every morning from a local place. I like it better than Starbuck's.

So is Starbucks really worth the $$? I don't think I've ever had regular coffee at Starbucks...I always get a cappuccino or something I can't make at home. I'm so sick of buying crappy coffee to brew, though--especially when a lot of them are still pretty pricey.

Well, I don't know nuthin' bout them fancypants girly drinks. For flavored coffee or cappuccino or lattes or anything girls and men named Seth are likely to drink, you'd have to ask around. I have no clue. But for plain old coffee, its worth it. At least at home. You can tell the difference before you even grind the beans. Every time I try something else (read: cheaper), I end up going back. Plus, there's the vastly entertaining benefit of annoying hippies. See:

beotch. go drink local. BONGO JAVA. Dude.

Bonus points to me if I just attracted coffee trolls. Ready - set - go.

anything girls and men named Seth are likely to drink...

Or guys named Stefan. HTFU, Stefan.

Is that Sam's Club? Too bad we let our membership lapse recently. If it's Wal-Mart I won't be purchasing it, either...you could not pay me to shop at that hell. Heh, maybe I can pay someone to go risk their life (seriously, ours was robbed by an armed dude a while back) to get me coffee...

Somebody robbed Wal-Mart? That seems ... unproductive. They should shop smart. Shop S-mart. Speaking of Sam's, their 'Member's Mark' brand coffee isn't bad. I think I've got some in the cupboard now. If you drink a lot at home and grind your own beans, its not a bad way to go.

'Maker's Mark'

Yeah. That is excellent in coffee. Even better without the coffee. BTW, loads of hippies at Bongo. Just drinkinsayin'.
